If you want to represent a homeowner or landlord to sell or lease their property, or if you want to represent a buyer or tenant looking to buy or lease a property, and earn a commission in the process, you are required to obtain at least a Virginia real estate salesperson's license.
Please note, you do not need to have a real estate license to buy, sell, or lease any of your own properties. A license is only required if you represent a seller, buyer, landlord, or tenant.
